Host or Hostess

As a Host, your goal is to make the beginning and end of each guest’s dining experience nothing less than extraordinary. You’ll greet guests, monitor the wait list and manage the floor chart. You may also answer phones, fill to-go orders and chat with guests while they wait to be seated.

This can include prepping ingredients, garnishing plates, baking our famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits and following sanitation guidelines. It’s a fast-paced role that’s exciting and rewarding.

Utility

Utility is vital to the heart of house and allows the restaurant to operate seamlessly. As a member of this team, you’ll make sure dishware, workstations and restrooms are clean and organized.
